Well all I can say that I am so thankful that JP has done an amazing job with potty training. I talk to God about it every night the past few days and have just asked him to give me guidance and strength to get through these next few days and weeks with JP during this process. What I can say is that he is answering my prayers and I am so blessed! I know that all this praise and glory
Day 3 he woke up and told us he needed to go potty, but he did not want to take his diaper off, after a bit of talking to him about it, he wanted to take off his diaper but mommy couldn't help! (I think he knows once that diaper was off that there was not another going back on). He sat on the potty and I went to get Corley from her crib and he came in and said he went potty, so I went to check and yes he did!!!! Not only did he go potty but he had a BM in the potty!!!! I was so excited that I was yelling and screaming praises with him! John came in and celebrated on the couch. My brother in law is in town and was sleeping on the couch, needless to say I don't think he was sleeping much more, but he joined in the celebration with us!!!! He has gone to the potty several times this morning, unfortunately he has a little bit of diarrhea, but in the end that has been a good thing because he knows the feeling and is running to the potty!!!! I did not want to potty train with diarrhea, but he it is working out just fine!
His potty seat for those that are going to start or just want to know! We found it one day at Target and he was drawn to the box. I originally did not want to buy a separate potty for him but it was worth it. This potty sings songs once they pee or have a BM in the potty, it has been great so far because there have been times that I have not been in the same room with him and I have heard his "potty songs" go off and I run in there and celebrate with him. If anyone wants to borrow it after we are done that is, then just let me know. I think this one was about $30-35, but like I said worth it!!!! I think having a potty that was his size is great! Corley will even get on it from time to time, of course she is still dressed!!!! The other thing I did was get him prizes that I knew he would love, so find our child's favorite things and let them pick out a prize when they go in the potty. This morning I think I could have ran out of prizes if I let him get one for every BM (since he does have diarrhea, but after a few potty trips I give him one!!!)
Overall this has not been a bad experience!!!
Hope this helps someone in their near future!!!
